NIKE Suspends Ties with Kyrie Irving As Anti-Semitic Embrace of Hebrew Israelites Fallout Spreads

NIKE Suspends Ties with Kyrie Irving As Anti-Semitic Embrace of Hebrew Israelites Fallout Spreads

On Thursday Nets guard Kyrie Irving was suspended indefinitely for promoting an anti-Semitic film based on the book “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America”. The book promotes several anti-Semitic tropes, including the despicable lie that the Holocaust never happened.

Late Friday, Nov 4, NIKE suspended its relationship with Kyrie Irving, including the introduction of his new NIKE KYRIE 8 shoe. ESPN reported last May that dealings with Kyrie Irving were so complex for Nike, that there was a good chance that Nike would not renew his contract at the end of the 2022/23 season.

Nike has produced Irving’s popular signature shoe since 2014 and is taking the financial hit on cancelling the Kyrie 8 launch.

“At Nike, we believe there is no place for hate speech, and we condemn any form of antisemitism,” the company said.

Another Day, Another Kanye West Episode | Shaq O'Neal Claps Back with Grace & Style

Another Day, Another Kanye West Episode | Shaq O'Neal Claps Back with Grace & Style

Honestly, I thought that Kanye might have a bit of humility after the very public embarassment of burning down his business with his MAGA-love, White Lives Matter, anti-Semitic month of October. To read that West hadn’t even bothered to trademark White Lives Matter was astonishing for a man who used to think he should run with Bernard Arnaud.

It’s really not “master of the universe thinking” to blow your entire business up over an incendiary brand concept, coupled with your anti-Semitism, and you didn’t bother to trademark your brand concept. Who did you blame that oops on Kanye?

Thankfully, the White Lives Matter trademark is in good hands with Quinton Ward and Ramses Ja of CIVIC CIPHER.

Tory Burch Holiday 2022 Campaign Blue Hues Prompts Reflections on Traditions

Tory Burch Holiday 2022 Campaign Blue Hues Prompts Reflections on Traditions

While we associate the campaign’s silvery blue mood with the sea, let’s also remember that Hanukkah begins Sunday, December 18 this year and ends on December 26.

Whether she intended to make a subliminal statement or not in the Tory Burch Holiday 2022 Campaign, I appreciate blue in this moment. It’s refreshingly ecumenical, when brands are exploring exactly what traditions mean within the context of today’s world.

Hands down, Ralph Lauren has no peer in this realm of recasting the truth of the American experience. But Tory Burch is traveling on the same moonbeam — with an added emphasis on women’s lives and achievements. I love her for that long and sincere contribution to telling women’s stories.

Kanye West and his desire to rip America apart as a MAGA lover — and now Hitler, too — has gotten people up off the sidelines.

That would NOT be AOC, btw. We are never on the sidelines, when the focus is stopping hate.

Meet the Civic Cipher Guys Who Now Own the White Lives Matter Trademark to Contain It

Meet the Civic Cipher Guys Who Now Own the White Lives Matter Trademark to Contain It

Many of us are determined to start publishing good stories about black, brown, yellow, red, white, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and everybody else living together in America. And this is a GREAT story!

Civic Cipher is a nationwide show that started in 2020 to create a space for Black and brown people to have courageous conversations.

West will give them the finger and do what he wants, while ranting on Parler that Ja and Ward stole his designs. But facts matter, and Kanye West would be violating their trademark.

The trademark was filed the day Kanye West dropped his WLM clothes in Paris. The original owner of the trademark is a listener of their show. The original filer was so disturbed over the implications of Kanye West’s marketing of the divisive and race-baiting merchandise that he moved immediately on a filing. That individual wishes to remain anonymous.
